Clinker production to commence in August 2014 at the Aganang integrated plant

Sephaku Holdings Limited (SepHold) advises its shareholders that its associate Sephaku Cement
(Pty) Ltd (SepCem or the Company) has completed the commissioning of the clinker production
facility at Aganang and is ready to commence with production. The first consignment of clinker will be
delivered to the Delmas milling plant by the end of the month.


Chief executive officer, Dr Lelau Mohuba commented, “The production of its own clinker is an
important step for SepCem, enabling it to become a fully integrated producer of cement. We are
confident that it will soon become a strong and profitable competitor in the local market.”

Production of clinker at Aganang

Aganang integrated plant is SepCem’s flagship plant located at Litchenburg in the North West
province of South Africa. To date, SepCem has been purchasing clinker to mill at Delmas where the
Company has achieved more than 60% production capacity utilisation. This has enabled SepCem to
enter the market whilst strengthening its sales function in preparation for increasing volumes.
Consistent cement quality and exceptional service have enabled SepCem to successfully penetrate
both the bag and bulk markets.

The targeted clinker production date was end of July 2014, however due to minor problems identified
on the plant fan system as part of the normal hot commissioning, the process has been slightly
prolonged.The cement production capacity at Aganang is approximately 1,1 million tonnes and
Delmas is 1,4 million tonnes per year at steady state. The ramp up production at both plants will be
based on market demand.
